nothing is a coincidence

This is a solid belief of mine. these last few months, I’ve had owls filter in and out of my life in strange ways. It started a few months ago when my cousin told me she had a nightmare with an owl in it. A different friend, a month or two later, sent me a video of a barn owl she saw on a walk. two weeks ago, I saw an owl in person for the first time. I was on a walk with my dog, and it flapped by out of nowhere. i didn’t have my phone on me, and i didn’t plan on going in this specific direction on my walk. We stared at each other. Once I started going WHOOO WHOOO, the link broke and we went our separate ways. a few days later, was telling a friend about this synchronicity of owlz during a stoner walk near a creek. It was dark, and I decided to dip my toes in the water (as I am a mermaid for any body of water) as I was watching my step among the slick coldness of the water and the invisible pebbles in the dark, my friend let out a soft scream- gasp. above me, an owl had flown by. she said it ’had been too fat to have been anything else’ and i fully believe her. Owls are interesting. They aren’t my primary bird of hyperfixation (big on eagles and crows in my universe) but I feel deeply connected to the universe and its movements, whenever these sorts of repetitions enter my life. I always read into it. I don’t care, I love making something’s out of someone else’s nothings.

bird visit symbolism

It’s spring so its likely you may be receiving more visits from birds. good to know what these visits are trying to communicate to you! I just saw a pair of blue jays which may mean I need to speak up about something 🤔

Starting over

“Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.” — Anaïs Nin This is uncharacteristically raw and personal, even for me, and pretty heavy! I know many of you have seen me posting through it and I feel safe to talk about it openly now that I’ve safely landed at the start of my new life. It’s honestly even a little bit embarrassing but I think it’s important to share. I’ve never publicly mentioned it on here, but I have a husband; as of Friday, we’d have been together for 11 years, and we’ve been married for 3 years as of 2/22. I realize now that I wanted to explore what I looked like outside of my relationship with him because I had lost that. This is why PI.FYI has been so meaningful to me as a space to express myself and connect with people—to rediscover my voice. I had been living a lie this entire time, to others but worst of all to myself. He’s been verbally and emotionally abusive, physically but without touching me, to the point that every day I spent with him I was in danger. I’ve been shrinking myself and walking on eggshells to avoid making him insecure and provoking his casual put-downs and fits of rage, while hanging on for dear life to the threads of good I could see. I’ve wanted so badly to leave, more than anything, but I felt like there was no way out and that this was just something I would need to endure indefinitely—but someone who is so very dear to me helped me see that I have wings to fly, not by acting as my savior but by reminding me of my own power. The emotional safety they built and the gentle care they showed me made me feel like I could open up to them. With their encouragement I was brave enough to tell the truth to my friends, my family, my boss, and they have received me with warm, loving and open arms and rallied to support and protect me. The financial and  logistical aspects were the most intimidating to me and it’s going to be tough for a while but I’m going to be better than okay! Now I’m opening up to you. This isn’t the only abuse I’ve suffered in my life, and my old therapist told me she believed it was my mission to share my strength and light with others to inspire them and show them that change is possible. I hope that by sharing this, I can reach even just one person who is going through something similar and show that they are not alone, and they are not weak. People with certain backgrounds may be more vulnerable to abuse, but it can happen to anyone. It thrives in darkness, shame, and isolation—and breaking that silence is the first step toward freedom. Leaving is the scariest thing I have ever done but I have so many angels around me, and I am endlessly grateful. Thank you for being here with me 💌

Never changing

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
